Steinernes Haus / Hotel zur Krone

Detailed description

At the end of the 15th century, Count Gerhard II (1452-1493) moved the residence of the County of Sayn to Hachenburg and acquired the "Steinerne Haus" (Hotel "Zur Krone") in 1461. The building, adorned with a magnificent Renaissance facade, is decorated on the roof ridge with a "Moor's head." At that time, this indicated that the house served as a prince's inn and is still considered a talisman today. On the first floor, there is a bay room that has always been called the "Femestübchen." It still refers to the aforementioned Count Gerhard II, who presided over the Femegericht (Feme=Middle High German for punishment) as Femgraf.
The Hotel "Zur Krone" is presumably one of the oldest stone inns in Germany.

Brief description

The origins of the "Stone House" remain shrouded in the darkness of history, according to current knowledge.
